Mexico’s Rey Vargas faces uphill climb on path to greatness
Few would agree with Vargas’ high opinion of himself, but you have to hand it to the guy. At 32, he has the bravado of a 22-year-old.
Vargas likely will never make that legendary list, but you have to give him credit. He’s making the effort. He wants to be there one day.“I want to be remembered as someone who dares to be great, who dares to do things others may not have the guts to do,” Vargas said. “If you are undefeated and want to be the best, you’ve got to take risks. If not, what’s the point?”
Rising American superstar Shakur Stevenson could be another legacy fight down the road, but it might mean moving up to 135 pounds. Vargas is more boxer than bruiser, more tactician than TKO artist. He’s still a very good fighter, but not a crowd pleaser like Barrera, Morales or Marquez.
